Now in its 17th year, this tiny but very popular festival celebrates the life of musician, writer and performer Jim Marcovitch, and is organised by  a small group of his family and friends.  Boasting a varied line-up of up-and-coming musicians and comedians, it is perfect for lovers of good music and friendly company who want to avoid the crowds and commercial nonsense of larger festivals.

The festival takes place in a secluded clearing in an ancient woodland, with the main stage set up among the trees. Our first act normally begins around 2.30pm, and as dusk falls, the trees sparkle with fairy lights. We serve a delicious free meal in the evening, which you can eat around the camp fire, before our headlining bands rock the woods into the night.
 
We are very family-friendly, and welcome children of all ages. As well as the main stage acts, there is a children’s area with activities and performers during the day, and our young festival-goers love to explore and play in the woods around the festival site.
 
The Festival of Jim makes no profit.  An army of volunteers help with the organising and setting up, and money from ticket sales pays for the performers, caterers, technical staff, equipment and venue. Anything left over goes towards the following year’s festival and we make contributions to different charities each year….go to the charity page to see who we’ve donated to.
